Holidays!!!!

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a great holiday and will continue to have them. I, myself, dont care to much for the holidays except rejoicing about Jesus's Birthday! Other than that I just miss my family that has gone on before me and I cant stop thinking of them! I know everyone has suffered a loss but I take it so hard. I don't know why! But I enjoy my chidren and my family with a sad heart for the ones that we can no longer see.  Well like I said I hope everyone had a great holiday!
Much Blessings!

The last 6 weeks for me!

Well the last six weeks for me have been kind of a speed bullet. First my grandpa had a stroke so most of my time has been spent in the hospital and then he went to rehab and so little more time was spent in the nursing home! He is ok but it still takes a lot to get him on his feet again.  So besides that I have had my children doing their sports and games and practices. I have been trying to focus on school and assignments.
Then probably my last concentration is on Christmas and making sure my kids are getting everything they asked for.....well almost everything they asked for.
The holidays are always sad for my family bc we have lost my grandpa on Dec.1,07 but it still feels like yesterday! But my last six weeks have been very busy and really if I could sleep for 2 weeks in a row I would do just that!

School and Children

My school has always been very imporatant to me. I have had to give it up 3 times of my own choice of having 3 wonderful children.  I want to finish this time for good. I am off to a very good start.  I also want to set an example for my children that getting good grades and studying is very important for your future! We compare report cards. That is a lot of fun!  The world today requires so much from our children and without an education it is almost impossible for our kids to get a job that is worth anything.  But I know that I push my children and teach them well on values and respect as well a school!

Hello All!

Hello to all again on my 3rd or 4th week of the blog. I have really enjoyed my time at Kaplan and all the interesting people that I have met and discussed topics with.  I wish you all the best after you graduate. I say that with pride and excitment because I have been trying to complete my degree for almost 7 years now. Babies have gotten in the way, lol. Really not in the way but I decided to have my children first.  They actually help me with my homework sometimes. Have a great week!

My Paper

I have thought about what to write my research paper on, and I have came up with what a better idea than just write about something that you already know about. Lupus! I have been diagnosed with lupus since 1998. It has effected my everyday life and my actions. I have been really sick at times and not even know why! It is a weird disease to have, but I am lucky enough to get it, lol!
I wanted to write about something that is personal to me and this would it! I hope I can only use my information in a way to inspire others and help others understand what this disease will do to you!

Wishing

How bad that I wish my grandpa was still here. This Dec.1 it will be 4 years that he has been gone and it still like it was yesterday! He died in a car wreck and he was flown to a near by trauma hospital and it took us about 30 Min's. to get to him. Before we reached him he had already had 5 surgery's just trying to save him.  They told us that they had done everything that they could!  We were all standing around in the room and they took him off the support and he still had a heartbeat! After we told him that he could go and we would take care of grandma his heartbeat slowly faded! At 4:40pm he passed. I just stood there in shock and in confusion! Everyone left the room. I didn't I stood there and held his hand and talked to him!
We miss him he was such a great person. Always had jokes and always had some story to tell us. He picked on me the worse bc I always would pick back! My youngest daughter was 4 months old and I regret that she will never meet him until Heaven.  But everyday I live that day over and over again! I cant get it out of my head and deal with it! So Happy Thanksgiving to my paw-paw in heaven and know I love you and miss you so much.

Welcome!

Hello this is very new to me as well as it may be for other classmates of mine.  I would just like to say welcome to my blog and I hope we can learn how to do this new thing in our classroom,LOL!   I think this will be a interesting tool for us to use to get to know one another and help each other with concerns or problems we may experience during this writing class.  I hope I will achieve my goal to know how to write an A paper or at least a B paper! Well I can't wait to hear from you all and get started with our blog's!
